Additional Comments: I have vented my frustration at losing ATWT in a most unusual way...I was asked to review a state legislative candidate's petition signatures...He needed 1,500 signatures...he filed 1,704 signatures...I objected to 722 signatures.  Well, tonight, I heard from the State Board of Elections...they sustained 632 of my 722 signatures...an incredible 7 out of every 8 signatures I objected to were ruled invalid.  My local reputation as 'The Ballot Terminator' remains intact!

I've been meaning to tell you for several years now that, in the day, Edge of Night was my favorite soap.  It is the first one that I recall ever being canceled, due I thought to an unfavorable time slot (at least in my area).  The other early cancellation that I recall anyway was "Love is a Many Splendored Thing".  It had David Birney, Donna Mills and another lady who was Iris, the sister of the DM character, and later was a long running character on another soap.  Unfortunately I forget her name as it was not something I watched.  From 1967-1973 I was a stay-at-home mom and watched or at least caught parts of many of the daytime dramas.

  • I remembered the name of the other actress on *Love is a Many Splendored Thing*. It was Leslie Charleson, who played Iris. That soap is never mentioned when credits are listed. As I recall it wasn't on very long; nor was one called *Capital* which I watched for a while, long ago./MissM
